Hundreds of petahash are thrown around following random chains in Chinese pools and we can't even stay above 100TH even at zero fee.

Oh well maybe if they all run off when 2x comes along, we'll be considered a big pool since we'll remain on the core chain.

Sorry, but I had to repeat it.

Mano, this means you need to help us with your hashrate and tell your friends to mine here too.
Once a block is found 100% goes to miners, there's no payout wallet and it's 0% fee. You keep transaction fee too.
So far, this is the most profitable pool in all bitcoin sphere, but we just need more hashrate to beat variance.

m1n3m1n3m1n3 you did a very nice signiture for the pool, congrats!

If you are above the payout threshold, it will be only whenever we find a block, which so far has been never. At our current hashrate we expect to find one block a year unless we get more hashrate.

I am new in this pool and I wanna ask when the pool normally payout btc to my adress? Once per week?

Maybe the only thing we might be missing a little bit would be a hashrate graph.

The "payouts" entry for that bitcoin address in:
http://ckpool.org/pool/pool.work
If it's not in payouts, it's not due for a payout this block.

No problem, working on it now.

I'm just making something super lightweight and static for now but if you want we could look at setting up a PHP script to run on a 10-60 minute cron that updates a few things so the page could be a bit more dynamic.  Also I have a little PHP templating system we could implement if you want, so with a couple cookies users can have their BTC address retained in the page and a preference of skins to show the site using.  For multiple color schemes, optional fancy javascript or 'no images at all' mode, etc.  Also that would let us isolate content text from the rest of the page so if you want to put in text edits it doesn't involve messing with any php/html.

Anyone know the free-est way to remotely retrieve the current value of bitcoin?  Either PHP or Javascript, preferably javascript

Can someone explain to me, in simplest possible language, how to arrive at:
"If we find the block right now, your payout is: X.XXXXXXXX BTC"?

Is it ( Herp / (Sum of everyones Herp ) ) * BTC Value?

The lack of colorfulness on the website doesn't bother me one bit. As a newbie, information is the key and this pool far exceeds the other pools process of relaying timely information to its users.

I will put up a donation address only if and when we find our first block since I don't expect anything for a pool that has failed to perform, but I'm more than happy to accept someone to write up a style page for the few pages that do exist and I'll include them. You have the basic data that's included on the pages, just pm me, or send me an email. I greatly appreciate the offer, thanks.

We need about 3.5PH (and climbing) to find a block every 2 week period. At this stage, I'm not even sure what stops people joining even a free pool, but I don't think it's just one thing. The combination of inertia/history, insurance, perception, features, interface, language, culture, location, advertising and so on no doubt all contribute so I doubt it's just one thing, but if we were larger to begin with they'd simply come anyway - and that has always been the catch 22 I mention every few days on this thread. Can't attract hashrate if you don't have hashrate unless you're offering something radically different. This pool DOES offer some very different things (and is free) but the vast majority of miners are big entities that are blind and feel obliged to be contracted to one of the big rip off merchants in China.

Things may change drastically if we end up with a small hashrate core bitcoin and large hashrate 2x bitcoin fork. I can't even begin to convey how dangerous this period is for bitcoin's stability, especially now when it's worth more than ever...

  you are right, a little CSS would make it look fresh, and also better to read.

FYI Java and Javascript are very different animals, but I get your point in either case.  I actually think a little CSS / formatting would go a long way towards readability etc, and basically add nothing to the bandwidth costs.  But it's just aesthetics, they only accomplish so much.  Ultimately it's the bottom line that attracts miners, I guess (pretty new myself so I don't really know).

I wouldn't actually expect any donations, just saying I wouldn't charge -ck anything for the service.  I'm basically offering to do it for free, since he's done so much for free himself.

  Welcome Back Grigorevich!

I hope you are the lucky one who solve the first block, and hopefully nothing went wrong this time.

Fancy webpages with a lot of of Java is not what I need, Information as easy to read as possible
is my favorite.
If a pool got 0 % fee and the cost are there to run it, all coverd by the pool owner, you can not expect a donation for a style up of the webpage I think.
 

Same, I actually prefer a 'sparse' look.   But sometimes a little polish helps bring in new people.   I could make something with no graphics, just CSS (very lightweight).  Maybe a little javascript to translate the user/pool stats into something a little more visual.

With the change to 0% fee I decided to give the pool a second (and last) chance. Hopefully other people who left it decide to come back too.
I deployed 2.6th and will deploy more 14th today. I will also add 50th during this year. That with actual mining hardware, not rental.
This will double the pool's size since it currently is at 60th.

I don't mind the way the site is right now, but I don't know if other people feel the same way.

Nowhere on this thread nor on website has an address where we can donate to. Not that I have found.
CK, I think you will earn more money by relying on donation than making it 0.5%, 1% or anything %fee. People respect you for your work, and will respect even further with an "altruist" pool. In the long run, you will make more money "giving" your product than "selling" it I think.
Maybe also an option where you can specify donation % youd like to give where you type your btc address in the miner configuration page. (ofc IF you wanna give, don't make this mandatory or else that will not be a donation but a fee)

The only two things we need are more hashrate and proof that nothing goes wrong. It was really heartwrenching what happened before and that cannot happen again. Not in the next one or future 100 blocks.
We really need more hashrate because we are losing a lot to bitcoin rising diff right now. We need at least enough hashrate to find a block per difficulty change (once per ~2 weeks). As of now we have enough hr only for less than a block every 14 months.
Tell other people and rent hashrate. Donate to the pool. Help by giving ideas. Mine away

Maybe it would help to spruce up CKPool's webpage a little?  I could help with that, and I'd do it for BTC donations.  CK, thoughts on that?

Different hardware has different rates of producing stales, and the rest is determined by your latency to the pool so make sure you are not using a high latency connection such as wifi/3G. Your reject ratio is only 0.4% which is perfectly fine.

Hello, some one can tell me if I am doing something wrong.

Today I receive 24 submit stales:
